Beey now, Ryosuke already had five children, and it was clear there would be more in the future.
Compared to the Warring States era, this was already a lot. Beeack then, clans lived for battle—and for having as many children as possible to replenish their numbers.
The clan elder thought to himself with a sigh: Well, young people live their own way. Having more children is ultimately a good thing. I should be happy about it.
When Tsunade and Shizune appeared, they both bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Grandfather."
"Greetings, Grandfather."
Even though Tsunade herself was proud and fiery, she didn't feel awkward at all addressing Ryosuke's grandfather this way. After all, in clan terms, she was now considered a granddaughter-in-law.
The great elder chuckled helplessly.
"Ryosuke, if you'd told me earlier that you were bringing your daughters-in-law here, I'd have prepared some gifts for them."
He shook his head with amusement. "Never mind, I'll prepare something for next time."
Since they had already borne Ryosuke's children, they were unquestionably considered part of the family now.
Ryosuke shrugged lightly.
"I didn't tell you right away because I wanted it to be a surprise."
The elder sighed inwardly. A surprise, huh? This wasn't just a surprise—it was shocking. Even a woman like Tsunade, direct descendant of the Senju, the Uchiha's old enemies, had fallen into Ryosuke's hands.
A year later, Ryosuke finally decided it was time for his women to conceive again.
He hadn't rushed them—he knew continuous pregnancies weakened a woman's body. He didn't want his wives frail and sickly, so he gave them time to rest and recover.
Now, with their health restored, he planned another round of children.
His first choice was Yugito Nii, the jinchūriki of the Two-Tails. She was still a Kage-level kunoichi, so any child born from her was sure to grant him a lavish system reward. The treasures from those rewards were often powerful items he could use himself.
After Yugito became pregnant, Mabui quickly approached him as well.
She still hadn't let go of her wish—to bear a son. A boy would allow their bloodline to multiply endlessly.
Ryosuke, naturally, granted her wish. Mabui was special among his women—her dark skin and exquisite figure set her apart. He had no reason to refuse her.
With his current physical prowess, this was no challenge at all. Two years of cultivation had made his body unimaginably strong. Where once he could manage thirty times in a day, now he could easily go fifty or sixty.
Yes—he was that powerful.
Once Mabui was pregnant, Ryosuke turned to Yugao Uzuki. Over a year of careful effort and closeness had finally won her heart. She accepted him, and became officially his woman.
On their first night together, Ryosuke pressed her down onto the bed with a playful smile.
"Yugao, how about giving me another child? You don't want our little one to grow up all alone, do you? Wouldn't it be better to give them a brother?"
Beelushing, Yugao gave in with a soft, "Alright."
Though she had resisted at first, by now she had mostly accepted him. Truthfully, Ryosuke was handsome—and his body was powerful enough to overwhelm her completely. The sheer pleasure he brought her made it impossible to say no.
That night, she surprised even herself by taking the initiative—something that left her both exhilarated and ashamed.
After Yugao, Ryosuke made sure to also impregnate Kurenai Yūhi and Nonō Yakushi, keeping his promise to them as well.
Finally, his gaze fell on Tsunade once more.
She was strong—one of the few women in his harem with Kage-level power. That meant another precious treasure chest.
Pressing her beneath him, Ryosuke's voice was low and commanding.
"Tsunade, it's time for you to fulfill your promise. Give me another child."
Tsunade's eyes softened with resignation.
"Alright."
She had indeed made such a promise before. Beeut Ryosuke hadn't forced her right after childbirth; instead, he gave her body a year to rest before asking again. That small consideration mattered to her.
The next day, at noon, they finally stirred awake.
Looking at him, Tsunade sighed helplessly. So it begins again. Another maternity leave. Work one year, rest one year.
Beeut oddly enough, Konoha still functioned smoothly without her constant presence—at least, as long as there was no war.
Watching Tsunade's weary but content face, Ryosuke smiled inwardly. He was certain she was already pregnant—after all, they had done it countless times.
"Tsunade, I'm preparing to leave the village for a while."
She blinked in surprise.
"Where are you planning to go?"
Over the last two years, she had seen him grow stronger and stronger—stronger than even her grandfather Hashirama once was. Was he planning to shake the ninja world itself?
Ryosuke answered calmly.
"I intend to head to Kirigakure. I'll capture the Three-Tails and bring it back."
Tsunade froze. That's basically declaring war!
The tailed beasts had been bought by the villages at great cost. They were considered national treasures, weapons of war. Stealing one meant certain conflict.
"Ryosuke, even if you're stronger than my grandfather, there's no need to take another village's Tailed Beeeast! It'll start a war—and war means countless deaths."
Ryosuke's eyes hardened.
He knew that well—war always claimed lives, even when the strong fought the weak. Beeut this was necessary. He wanted to collect the Tailed Beeeasts before Akatsuki could. If he succeeded, their plan to revive the Ten-Tails and cast Infinite Tsukuyomi would collapse.
"You're right, Tsunade. Beeut the Three-Tails is a fragment of the Ten-Tails—and so are all the other beasts. We need to gather them, to stop that monster from being whole again."
Understanding dawned in her eyes.
So that was his plan. He had never told her the full truth before, but now she realized: his growing strength wasn't for ambition, but for saving the world from the looming threat of the Ten-Tails.
If they claimed the Three-Tails first, the Ten-Tails would never be complete.
Her lips curved into a smile.
"If that's the case, then I have only one request: hide your identity. Don't make it look like Konoha is seizing Tailed Beeeasts. That would terrify the other villages."
Ryosuke nodded. "Alright. I'll do it as a private action, not on behalf of Konoha."
He didn't want unnecessary conflict either. Even if no one in the ninja world could match him, shinobi were stubborn creatures—some would still challenge him, even knowing they'd lose.
As he considered his disguise, he thought of the Akatsuki's leader, Pain, who styled himself as a god.
Ryosuke smirked. If he's a god… then I should be something higher.
Thus, he decided on a new alias—
"God King."
